OK, I'm just gonna come out and say... I'm considering watching this at a cinema. That's right. You know why? Putting aside the fact that I felt VALENTINE'S DAY was merely average, I'm looking at what's on theaters right now, and there is a lot of crap. Sure, this one is more likely to be bad than good, but there are movies that are worth it. I've seen a lot of bad movies in cinemas in my life, but almost none of them have felt like a waste of time, because I say "It was worth the risk".

VALENTINE'S DAY was an excuse to bring stars together, but at least there was a purpose: combine every romantic comedy ever*. This one doesn't even have that. I mean, it's probably another combination of rom-com clichés, but if it's not the first one, what's the point? Anyway, I want to believe that the sweetness in Garry Marshall's movies (or obligation to please) and the cast (come on, at least half the actors have to be at least decent) will help.

*LOVE ACTUALLY didn't do that, it wanted to combine all the types of love. That's different.

Like in VALENTINE'S DAY, the actors with the most possibilities to be nominated are the ones that were in other movies this year: Chris LUDACRIS Bridges (FAST FIVE and NO STRINGS ATTACHED); Josh Duhamel (TRANSFORMERS 3); Cary Elwes (NO STRINGS ATTACHED and TINTIN); Common (HAPPY FEET 2); Robert De Niro (KILLER ELITE and LIMITLESS); Carla Gugino (MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS and SUCKER PUNCH); Ashton Kutcher (NO STRINGS ATTACHED); Seth Meyers and Sarah Jessica Parker (I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT); Lea Michele (GLEE: THE 3D CONCERT MOVIE); Til Schweiger (THE 3 MUSKETEERS); Sofia Vergara (HAPPY FEET 2 and THE SMURFS).

Was this movie made to piss me off? It's filled with people that I hate. Assface, Katherine Heigl, Horseface, Bon Jovi. Especially Bon Jovi, because he always shows up on the rock stations I listen to, usually between good bands like AC/DC, Eagles, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones.

After an entire year of Hollywood seemingly making movies just to make money, this looks like the most blatant example of that trend. And the saddest part: This star-studded P.O.S. will probably...make lotsa money.

I was thinking... you know what would be cool? And actually an improvement on VALENTINE'S DAY? There should be a scene where all the actors are together. A lot of "reunions" do that: the OCEAN trilogy, FAST FIVE, THE AVENGERS, even when all the RED POWER RANGERS got together. What's the point of these movies if we only see all the stars together in the poster?

You're not going to hell for what you said about Run DMC, yo're going to hell for this.

That made me laugh. That has happened to me before too, enjoying a
classic "Bad Company" song, followed by this wannabe rocker. Plus, I
can't recall which crappy movie it was but all of a sudden Bon Jovi
showed up as a teacher. Didn't see that one coming!

ETA: The movie was "Cry Wolf" with Jared Padalecki from the "Friday
13th" remake, as one of the lead actors. Padalecki is also One BAD Actor.

You're not gonna like this mbh. http://www.futurerocklegends.com/The_Snub_List.php Bon Jovi's been eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for three years and they've been nominated once. Bad Company's been eligible for 12 years and they've NEVER been nominated!*

There's a Bon Jovi movie where he's looking through his girlfriend's stuff and finds a sex toy. I can't remember the name, but that scene was just hilarious. (Edit: it's called The Leading Man. It co-stars past Razzie targets Thandie Newton, Lambert Wilson, and Nicole Kidman)

New Year's Eve now has an appalling approval rating of 6% at Rotten T and terrible reviews at Metacritic (24%), so this should definitely be nominated for Worst Ensemble Cast. The only one who should be nominated in the acting categories is Sarah Jessica Parker because she also starred in I Don't Know How She Does It.

If we need a Bonus Worst New Movie this week, I'd recommend The Sitter, assuming the review scores will continue to plunge (as of Dcb. 8 at 16:11, 25% at RT and 44% at MC).

I'm aware of that list. My heart is bleeding for "Journey", but at least "Lynyrd Skynyrd" made it.
I mean, just listen to "Wheel in the Sky" and "Simple Man", and THEN listen to Bon Jovi's "It's My life".

Bon Jovi as a music act is as overhyped and undeservingly successful as
Twilight. It's women who think his music is great (and that he's good looking).
And those same ones probably will think "New Year's Eve" is a great
movie.

I don't care if people like his music, but I do care if they think he would be more deserving than "Journey". And his repeated attempts to be an actor are annoying as well.

Just like "Valentine's Day", this film takes a number of big names and squanders any potential they have. If this succeeds at the box office, then we might end up having to deal with another one of these movies later. "New Year's Eve" looks like a huge Worst Picture contender with a Tomatometer rating of 6% and a Metascore of 21, but it's up against "The Undefeated", "The Roommate", "Breaking Dawn Part 1", "Big Momma's House 3", "Abduction", and four Adam Sandler products.
